Lil' Kim Charges $9.99 For The "Black Friday" Mixtape

UPDATE: Free ninety-nine turns to $9.99, as Lil' Kim may hope to be the second to "make a million off a mixtape."

Brooklyn, New York emcee Lil' Kim is plotting out her musical comeback. The longtime Junior M.A.F.I.A. member and multi-platinum star has recently returned to Hip Hop headlines for her conflicts with Queens, New York's Nicki Minaj. In November, Kim released "Black Friday", a diss track aimed at the Young Money starlet.

Now, according to Lil' Kim's Twitter, Black Friday - a play on Minaj's Pink Friday album title, will be an entire mixtape. Kim is claiming that she will release the free song collection on Valentine's Day, February 14. In her tweet announcement, Kim hinted at possible themes of the music, asking, "The fuck war?" [sic]

Who ever wrote this article is biased and has no journalistic integrity what so ever.. First of all the mixtape was never reported to be FREE.. Secondly artist sell mixtapes all the time ask Nicki Minaj, Jacki-o and many other artist who have sold mixtapes.. If you can't spend 10 bucks to buy a mixtape then that's your problem. Last but not least Nicki Minaj never made a million off her mixtape she can't prove it.. Lil Kim on the other hand has provided proof of her earnings.Blogger's should never have a personal opinion about what they think of a situation, thus the reason I will never revisit this website.

Mortgage Broker

@Smack - she is going broke. I do mortgages and one of my colleagues received a referral deal from a friend of his and it was to obtain a mortgage for Lil Kim. Her home is currently in foreclosure and she doesnt have enough income or equity to support a refinance. So yeah - she's on her way out. From what I remember looking at her application package and detailed letter from her accountant a few weeks back, I dont even think if she put this million she made on the mixtape towards the property that she'd have enough equity. I think she would still have to put more money down to lower the loan to value ratio and qualify for a mortgage lol.

Do folk remember when we actually bought CDs. Now people act like supporting an artist that you actually like is so wrong. Should actors and movie producers start making movies for free when they is their profession? She is just doing her job.

Dear Kim, You do NOT make a whole mixtape or album about someone else of the same gender. *Kevin Hart voice* THAT'S GAY!!! Lol but naw forreal it ain't take Pac a whole tape to get at Biggie. Nor did it take Nas a whole mix to get at Jay. MC Lyte shut Antoinette down in one verse. A whole tape?? WHO DOES THAT??? No matter how much she needs a reality check don't give shorty a whole tape. Sorry Kim but I'm raising my fail flag on this one. :(

Bom919

this trick sucks ass...and shes gonna get sued and shell be even more broke. honestly Nicki was right. Lil Kim is being a sore loser right now. Nicki didnt do shit to Kim. Kim completely started this shit for promotion for herself cuz she didnt have a choice. her career is pretty much over so shes trying to get as much press and be as obnoxious as she can just to get attention. Nicki would rip this chick anyday

all the ppl saying "what happened to a mixtape being free?" are whats wrong with hip hop today!And whats wrong with the music industry today, THESE PPL are why artist arent selling records anymore they would rather download your sh*t for free than buy it. Lil Kim has always giving HER FANS quality music and that is why they are willing to support her music...ya'll surprised is that why ya'll mad? cuz what artist are ya'll REALLY a fan for? who will you support no matter what? exactly ya'll some unstable, blow whichever way the wind blow consumers...lil kim from the 90's era where we don't give f**k what is said if we riding you we riding with you. Nikki cool i like her but, she doesnt deliver quality.
i also notice that some of your hate doesnt register and has no merit becuz all ya'll talk about is her surgeries,and she hating on nikki shes a has been, she irrelvant but she relevant enought for you to click on this story and comment, hell some of you did a google search...hatas smh so un happy

beat box king

50 cent soulj boy and many others been putting out mixtape for free for a minute and it ain't helped they careers. Lil Kim is smart becuz using this buzz to make money and i think after her sales totals alot of rappers and r&b artist going to go the "selling they mixtape" route becuz believe it or not lil kim has DIE HARD fans, 50's is fickled,soulja boy's has short attention span...the only thing i think kim need to worry about is copyright infringement mark my words if this mixtape does well ppl gon be coming out the woodwork talkin bout wheres my cut, she didn't permission etc, if it dont no body gon say anything, which is a double standard becuz ppl have been selling mixtape but if it publically known how much can really be made off it....houston we have a problem

rin

i know why people complaining about purchasing a mixtape... thats because you need a actual bank account with paypal... so if you dont have one your a joke.....

I bought 10 copies for me and my folks that support lil kim! and know others that did the same.. so real talk i believe she did sell that much... my girl went to jail for NOT snitchin! WTF would she lie on herself! GTFOH Black friday video drops tomorrow.. and i bet all of you nick stans will be up at 9am sitting by the computer trying to catch a peek! This aint about popularity lil kids.. its about mutherfuckin respect

I would buy Kim music before Nicki teenage baby azz lyrics. And whats $10. Damn you can tell most of these people crying over $10 are busted. Just collect pennies out the bowl from a few corner stores and go cop Kimmy Blanco's CD!

Smart Move

Kim got more views on YouTube for Black Friday than Romans Revenge.
Black Friday mixtage was the smartest business move Kim made. Its totally legal to charge fees for production of the CD. She constantly topping everybody as far as the Twitter trending and got people buzzing about her constantly and have 6 million views for Black Friday. And you say she irrelevant. You see how you can profit from a hater. Hats off to Kim! She just made a mil in 2 days! Whats more shocking is Pink Friday sold 1 mil copies and her album got more negative reviews than good. After she split w/Cash Money she gets 3% of that. Com'on. Youtube co-signed that 6 million people is listening to Kim.

These artists are gonna wait about three weeks for the mixtape to sell (even though it wont sell much), and then someone will come out with a lawsuit like, "GIVE ME ALL THAT MONEY BITCH!" LMAO
Wouldnt it be funny if nicki came out suing her for using that bullshit ass "did it on em" beat?!?!? lol that would be beautiful! lol Even though both these bitches suck

Lil Kim, needs to sit her ass down and stop f** with all those injections. YOU LOOK HORRIBLE JUST LIKE THE MUSIC YOU PUTTING OUT FOR 2011.
you wack, Nicki already slayed ya ass with her POP sounding albumn, which is great by the way. Now you trying to sound like Nicki???
you are lame, and like Nicki said, YOU GOING DOWN IN HISTORY LIKE A SORE LOSER

ROMAN: your obviously on the nuts of Nicki, and haven't listened to the Black Friday diss song... Kim went off on Nicki, and thats how a real diss song is made. Nicki gets her props for making a dope album, but at the same time Lil Kim is a better "traditional" MC where as Nicki Minaj is more of a gimmick artist even though she got skills.

To tell fans they get it free and then put a ten dollar taxes on that ass is not cool. I mean come on, who sells a diss mix-tape. Disses r put out not sold. If people spend there money they want quality. I want 2 C your growth in your craft. Not a album going at 1 muff, which is sad and pointless.

I'm amazed how many people saying they gonna wait till they can download the cd for free. An artist puts music out there just like a painter or business person putting product out but people think they have a right to steal it.
There's no difference between downloading the shit and waiting till a store's security is turning the other way, taking something off the shelf, bagging it up and running. I hate to think what the music industry will look like in 10 - 20 years and the mentality that this generation is gonna have, I mean if music is free, porn is free, what the f*ck people gonna be willing to pay for, or is everyone just gonna be out for taking everything they can get no regard to the source it came from.
$9.99 dollars or like ÃÂ£6 for a cd...
People is some broke ass bums if they too cheap to spend that.
Okay rant over, Kim i for one will be buying your mixtape I wouldn't work for free or like people stealing my shit.

hjgjf

nigga r u serious?????fuck a artist u think i feel bad cus i take some shit off the internet for free while they sittin in a fuckin penthouse smokin loud and fuckin exotic bitches while i go to work everday and come home to ma bitch complainin.....not too much shit set me off on the internet but for some reason u jus touched a nerve. man fuck those ppl they dont see hardly any of that cd money anyway they get paid mostly from shows......do ifeel bad for a fucker that get paid 30 stacks jus to get hi, get drunk and do a hour performance????? hell naw nigga u a fuckin lame for dat one.....fuck u and lil kim i dont even listen to weak ass nyc hoe but jus cus u just said sum fuck shit i bouta download her shit right now.....FOR FREE and guess what dat bitch still gone have money. shut yo bitch ass mane

Nathan MasterBake Helton

If you actually listen to pink friday, you can not say that nicki can't rap i mean did you hear blazin, romans revenge, she snapped on alot of songs, yes it was not hip hop but it was still a pretty good album and im sure way better than anything kim will ever put out now

Megan Patricia Alvarez

honestly, It isn't BETTER than what Kim has made. Somethings are catchy other than that. Real Hip Hop and Rap is in Kims Hands... If Nicki gets a ghost writer or really steps up her flow then she could possibly have a chance... Until Remy gets out.

Kendall Walters

Bottom line.....they are both awful MC's, Kim dropped one decent LP about 100 years ago and Nicki dropped one good verse on Monster, you want a good female MC kids? Go listen to Jean Grae, that girl actually has a brain unlike these too sellout whores.

Funnyshit

Tico

Bottom line beef is played, 50 cent used it to death, now that approach looks like a desperation move, I don't care how nice you are. Bottom line they need to squash, same reason NY rappers couldn't come up for awhile it applies to female rappers too.

To all people on this site. No one argues with the fact that Kim opened doors. I am a Kim fan and I have her whole catalogue in my Itunes. With that being said, I also respect Nicki's current position as the top rap chick in the game.
Hell, people like LL opened up the doors for all these dudes to get the money they getting today, but you don't see him going at Kanye, Jay, Em or Wayne right?
Just because you WERE on top doesn't mean you always ARE on top.
Even Walter Payton had a replacement. Michael Jordan aint out in the media challenging Kobe and LeBron to a game for the crown.
Nicki aint gonna fall off no time soon. If Kim had played her cards right, I'm sure Nicki would have made a place at the table so they can eat together. BUT thats no longer a possibility because of Kim's foolishness.
Peace

She opened doors for who? Don't worry I'll wait (Katt Williams's voice)...The only reason she made the spotlight was b/c of Biggie NOT her talent or lack there of...she made it b/c she sucked & fucked her way into that position...Opened doors...Really? Lil Kim has never been and will never be an Icon in Hip Hop. But you continue collecting her music.

Nas picked Foxy over Kim for the firm & Jay picked Charli Baltimore over her for the Comission why because she cant write and when she does you can tell dont nobody wanna carry no bitch weight she is an artist Ill give her that her costumes are amazing best airbrushed pics on the net too but Nicki got the two hottest niggas in the south to put her on & she is in no ones shadow and wait till Remy get out & Lauren Hill is the queen thx lol..

DONTWORRYABOUTIT

I don't understand what the fuck is wrong with people? If it wasn't for Lil Kim Nicki wouldn't have a career end of story. Kim's back and she gonna do her thing. STOP HATING. Yall Nicki fans must not know hip hop bcuz Nicki is not HIP HOP she's POP! SHe ain't even hard or saying shit that makes sense or motivating. She should go play with her barbies and sit in the sandbox. Nicki fans are the real fake motherfuckas if you ask me. Kim fans are loyal when Nicki fall off and she will don't act like its a surprise. Shit in ten years karma will come back.

Reply to Anonymous... Atlantic never dropped Kim, she had to battle them for months to get herself off the label and at the time they were refusing saying Kim is A-List over there and did not want to let her out of her contract. Kim took herself off to go independent that shit takes time, when you have to deal with manufacturing distribution and don't have a big machine of company behind you anymore like Nicki has.
Just stating that Kim never got dropped from any label you're misinformed, check the facts it's all there.

EPhraZe

Yes Kim opened the door (singular), but that door has been closed for a minute. KIm left the door open just enough for Nicki to do her thing. Kim didn't have beef until Nicki started getting attention. Nicki doesn't have to clean Lil Kim's pussy to acknowledge her. In her interviews, she paid homage, but when is enough...enough???!!! Don't get me wrong, I'm WAS a big Lil Kim fan until she started acting like an insecure bitch on her period. She's embarrasing herself and causing a beef that she's eating all by herself. After Roman's Revenge, there was nothing left to say. Actually, after 'Monster', there was nothing left to say. She murdered a track with Kanye and Jay-Z on it....that's when she won over the many critics. Note: she writes her OWN shit.
$9.99 for a mixtape???? In the wise words of Mark Jackson...."Kim, you're better than that!!!!"

r.gph

I don't like either one of them (rather listen to Jean Grae) but Kim wouldn't have a career if it wasn't for MC Lyte, Salt n Pepa, Queen Latifah....but I didn't see Kim back in the day shouting all them out on every song.
Fuck, none of these rappers would have a career if it wasn't for Kool Herc, and he can't afford his own hospital bills, but you don't see him calling out Diddy and Jay telling them to pay homage (and bills).
Also, Lil Kim is just as much a pop artist as Nicki is. "Not tonight", "How Many Licks", "Download".....all pop shit. She's on Dancing With the Stars for fucks sake.... that ain't hip hop.

Anonymous

Nicki Minaj is not the reason Lil Kim irrelevant. Her record label dropped her after she was released from prison. The Naked Truth did not go gold or sell records. Lil Kim been trying to do a comeback. She did Dancing with The Stars and on the show, she promoted a future album release that had yet to happen. Nicki is not to blame for her down fall. In the present, Nicki is the best female rapper doing it TODAY.

Wow kim, shut the fuck up already. How long will it take to realize that Nicki WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THEN YOU AT THESE TIMES. You're done Kim. Million dollar off a mixtape that aint worth shit. you a has been kim lol

kim never said it would be free the picture she used to advertise said that it would be "in stores" which was quiet obvious that you would pay..now in a few days when someone leaks it you can get it free then.

And that's the reason right there that music is dying and artists have to resort to publicity stunts to get there shit sold. You'll wait till you can steal it, why not wait till security isn't looking in the stores then shove that cd in your bag.... BROKE BUM!

Anonymous

Of course she's trying to sell it, this weak ass little beef is the only thing her career has going for it, lol
They both suck equally, But Nicki herself gotta be laughing at how desperate and pathetic Kim has gotten.....

Anonymous

Why ppl acting like Kim didn't put it down. If it wasn't for Kim, Nicki's fake silicone ass wouldn't have a career. All Nicki did was recycle Kim's whole style and made it her own. Yeah we all know she sucked Wayne's dick and the rest of the YM crew to get where she is. Those dudes brought alot of her records to make her look hot. Queen Bee has a catalog of music, let's see what the Kim clone will do. Kim had some of the best verses in the game when it came to features. Lyrically Nicki ain't never seeing Kim, I don't give a fuck what anybody says. Kim is taking it back to the essence of hip hop to get back on top. I don't give a fuck about her fake sales either, cuz Kim has sold millions of records. Let's see where this fake silicone bitch is 2 years from now. She won't ever have this buzz again, I promise you that.

Jesus

duuudeee. shut the fuck up. Lil Kim be beggin for waynes dick. but she couldnt get it so she tryd 50 and fifty said and i qoute "yeahh Kim swallow that cum, hey banks write me a rhyme, oh kim wants to be on G-unit? uhmm yeah well.... its either you or yayo and well yayo wiggles his ass when hes suckin my dick" if someones suckin dick. atleast its a million dollar blowjob. not for free like Kim's ass

kennyken

what is the problem...man the american dream has made lil kim do all type of stuff, and it's probably not in her true character. i'm sure nicki grew up on her and i don't understand the animosity...in my opinion lil kim's lyrical ability is smoother than nicki's but that's what made me look at LL differently when this dude went at canibus like that. canibus grew up on LL. shit's stupid.
i'm black, but i gotta say i can't stick up for my black people because hell i agree with other people when they say how stupid we act. boss thug

da1

You gus must be crazy, if you think this bitch is more lyrical then nicki. Does she even right her own stuff anymore? Both them broads went under the knife but atleast nicki minaj knew when to stop. Lil kim's the female michael jackson when it comes to that stuff(rest in peace to the king by the way). I guess she wants to release her mixtape on the day pink friday sells over a million copies. Oh yeah, Valentines Day is on a monday,smh.

jesterdxxl

Shut the fuck I hope you get raped by a pack of plastic surgeons.
Yea I agree Kim ain't what she use to be look wise but that's not relevent, shit people on here like bitches. Always worrying about what someone did, do or done when it's actually about the quality of music.
Kim will destory Nicki cmon Alex said it best she will forever be Queen Bee.

Lil Kim needs to go sit her stupid ass down some fuckin' where. Still throwing jabs at Nicki Minaj, I guess she won't get the hint like Beans didn't get it when he was hollin' at Jay-Z. While she's doing mixtapes ole girl is about to be platinum and touring overseas (I'm not even a Minaj fan)...Really?
